To extend the reach and diversity of its annual meetings, the American Physical Society has developed a pilot program of APS Satellite Meetings with the participation of ICTP-SAIFR in Latin America. As part of the APS Global Physics Summit from March 16-21, 2025, ICTP-SAIFR is organizing on March 17 (Monday) a 2-hour Satellite Session on Quantum Technologies that will be broadcast live to all participants of the APS Meeting, as well as a 2-hour session on Quantum Systems for student/postdoc presentations to a local audience

Graduate students and postdocs can apply until March 1, 2025 to present a short talk or poster at the student-postdoc session on Quantum Systems.

The 2-hour satellite session from 15:30-17:30 on March 17 will be held both in the IFT-UNESP auditorium and in the Anaheim APS conference center as a joint hybrid activity.  The complete schedule of sessions of the APS Global Physics Summit can be found on the APS Global Physics Summit webapage.
